Today I had the opportunity to talk and exchange views with both the President of Bulgaria and my counterpart, the Minister of Interior.
This was an extremely important visit, the first by the Minister of Interior of the Republic of Cyprus to Bulgaria, during which we exchanged views on issues of common interest such as migration, the management of the external borders of the European Union, the many peculiarities that both Bulgaria and Cyprus have on this issue and of course the civil protection issues on which we have opened a dialogue in order to have prospects for cooperation.
Both the President of Bulgaria and the Minister of Interior have expressed their support for the positions of Cyprus with regard to addressing the specific problems and, of course, from our side we have expressed our strong support for Bulgaria's accession to the Schengen area.
Of course, the main topic of discussion with both the President and the Minister of Interior is the Ukrainian issue, on which we have also consulted on how to deal with it and there is a convergence of views on the management of this issue.
